On my mind this week….
Getting my gym legs (gym equivalent of sea legs ;)) back. The gym was full of boys (blech!) on Tuesday. They hog all the free weight benches and when I do scoot in to get a bench, I sorta feel like they’re judging me for taking up one of their precious benches to use my measly baby weights. It didn’t help that it’s been a couple of months since I was in last and I was sort of floundering in my workout anyway. Oh well, I managed to get a good workout in regardless and was pretty happy that I could still do 3 sets of push-ups even though my pectorals and lats are STILL super sore three days later!

I have to admit something…I’m becoming a bit of a mango addict. I love them! The past two summers I maybe had 2-3 the whole summer. Now, I’m eating 2-3 a week! I’m slightly obsessed with them lately.

I got these adorable jog pants at Forever 21 last week and I cannot find a shirt that goes with them to save my life. I keep buying shirts that I think will work, bring them home and try them on with the pants and then get annoyed b/c they don’t look good. I’m starting to wonder if I made a mistake buying the pants in the first place. They were only $22 so it’s not a huge deal if they go unworn, but I really loved them when I tried them on in the dressing room. :o/

Sperrys! I’ve been a shoe buying maniac lately so I’m trying to reign it in, but I have been lusting over these Sperry boat shoes since I tried them on the other day. I’m trying very hard to talk myself out of buying them!
I love the leopard print, but look at how cute this anchor pair is! OMG. I think I might need these instead.

I have been looking everywhere for a chambray shirt that I like. I found this one at H&M and I was telling my hubs about it, who then asked what chambray was and I had to admit that I didn’t know the difference between chambray & denim. *hangs head* So, what’s a girl to do? Turn to my friend Google, of course. She’s always there for me.
Come to find out, there IS a difference between the two. I kinda thought the terms were interchangeable.
ME <——— fashion noob
But, I’m in the know now so I now know that the shirt I found was “denim”, not chambray. For a second I thought about taking it back, but after doing a little digging I found out that people use them interchangeably in outfits so I’m keeping it. I’ll still be on the hunt for a good chambray one though!
*btw, yellow pants over there…$15 at H&M right now. They had a mint color too, but they didn’t have my size. :'(
This post is just speaking my language this week! I usually go to the gym in the morning and I too feel judged – just hold your head high! Most of the juice heads are too busy grunting to notice what anyone else is doing 😉
And I LOVE those polka dot pants! Maybe try a flowy silk or polyester tank or button down? JCPenney has the Worthington, Liz Claiborne and Joe Fresh lines that are really affordable and brightly colored! Good luck!!

Great suggestions for tops! I’ll have to check out JCP. Thanks, Steph! 🙂
